Westministenders: The Truth Isn't A Made Up Concept

[RedToothBrush]

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Not George Orwell but often attributed to him. But a powerful statement with resonance nonetheless

Sabrina no, it makes you Dom.

len you really put my roses to shame 🌹

pussycat who the fuck has a “tapestry room”? What even is a “tapestry room”?

“The price of defending Cummings is admitting Johnson’s inadequacy”

The second article to that effect in The Spectator. This is very serious for Johnson.

I've always read your name as Don't Call Melen Tropical.

I can't see the Spectator article - a pity. It really doesn't look good when Mary Wakefield was a Commissioning Editor.

I believe it's owned by the Barclay brothers, and they are having their own difficulties at the present.

Apparently we aren't all equals.

Still the bit I could see was juicy enough:

Danny Kruger, formerly Johnson’s political secretary and now the MP for Devizes, has – perhaps inadvertently – done the country some small service. In a note sent to newly-elected Tory MPs, Mr Kruger has reportedly advised his colleagues that ‘calling for Dominic Cummings to go is basically declaring no confidence in [the] prime minister.’ Well, yes, indeed. That is the point. Because, in the end, this is not a story about Dominic Cummings but, rather, one about the Prime Minister.

That is just it of course. If Cummings had apologised and stepped down, that would have been the end of the story for now. Johnson could have brought him back when the heat had died down.

"pussycat who the fuck has a “tapestry room”? What even is a “tapestry room”?"

People with delusions of grandeur...

Sabrina tbh I do a lot of cross stitch, so my whole house is one mahoosive "tapestry room" including DH "Playstation" room which is my stitchery

mrslaughlan trust me, it's not that grand! I don't have a turret or anything ostentatious

Well.
Fuck me.

Peregrina I’m sorry. I can see the full article on Twitter and also the first time I googled it, now it says it’s available to subscribers only (I’m not one of those). It is an excoriating article. Heartwarming.

Yoikes did my lack of turret push you over the edge?

I thought that was Cummings house? Sorry puss in boots.....
Serves me right for speed reading, trying to catch up on a days worth of posts 🤯

Yoikes - would you elaborate?

If it's about the Spectator, I imagine that their concern is the damage it's doing to the Tory party.

pussycat I find it interesting that there’s a tapestry room, reading room, formal living room, dining room and kitchen on the plans.

But no family room or play room.

Classy.
Time to contact every Country and District Councillor in the area and check that they are happy with his views
Tories need their foot soldiers
Local elections are next May (in double numbers)

Does that work?

I'm afraid that's about as eloquent as I can manage atm :(

snow love a good turret, me.

Ah yes, found it via twitter, and just about to read. However, googling, I see that the paper said six years ago that he wasn't fit to lead.

Snowjive. DH was very excited to seeing it( the spectator article) .... made his day...

Thanks red - love the title of the thread ..... very apt today as a Tory friend on Facebook is trying to make an argument that facts and figures are not about the truth 🤯

And I’d love a turret - found a fabulous house once where they’d turned a turret room into a bathroom. They’re not that uncommon in houses in NE Scotland.

I mean....
fuck me!
What an absolute and utter clusterfuck
I'm so sick of it
Motherfuckers
